17864, Final Few questions on BRAKE system upgrade
Posted by Synthplaya, May-21-03 01:58 PM
Ok, Im getting new brakes and all for my 95 GST. I have read all the old posts, and everything, I just have a few final questions. I want to get the 12.5" (GSX size) cross drilled/slotted rotors for the front and the back, and the GSX calipers. My questions are

is it necessary to get the GSX calipers in the back?

Where can I get the GSX calipers for cheap new, i read that I can get them at autozone or something is this true, and what price would they run?

What is some good spray paint to use for the calipers? and is that part easy? What color would you reccomend to with for a black car?

I think thats it. Thanks..

The GS-T and GSX have the same rear brakes. So you can get new rotors, pads, and lines if you want, but swapping the rear calipers won't make any difference.

I painted my front calipers red. They look mad silly fresh yo. I used normal high heat engine paint from autozone. Works great.

Welp, thats what i did :)

So you are sure that the GSX rear brakes are the same as the GST? So i can buy the 12.5" rotors for the rear and use them with my calipers? Thanks

Correct me if I'm wrong:
2G FWD (RS,GS,GS-T, ESi, TSi) use 10" front rotors
2G AWD (GSX, TSi AWD) use 10.75" front rotors

2G (all with rear discs except '95 awd) use 10.25" rear rotors

Where is the 12.5" dimension coming from?

^^^ exactly correct, except the 95 AWD had 10.25" rear rotors too, except some were vented.

12.5" is the size of the AEM upgrade for the front with GSX 2 piston calipers. The AEM rear rotor upgrade is 11.5"
